Thanks guys. To me these issues are inconvenient, but in the great scheme of
things probably not. I understand RMS's Leemote had no suspend/hibernate
function, but he seemed to manage OK. He seems to use his Laptop as no more
than an email tool. At least it's a free tool!
As a relatively recent discoverer of free software, I was shocked that there
seemed to be virtually no free laptops sold with free software, apart from
the Leemote, which seems more rare than two completely rare things in a pod,
and the Gluglug X60/X200 which looks like an old piece of IBM/Lenovo
hardware. Is there really no more than this? We really do have a fight on our
hands don't we! I'm sure we'll get there though. I think I may have to get
used to sorting 'inconveniences' out for a good while yet!
P.S I wonder why the FSF aren't finding and promoting a suitable device,
perhaps with the FSF brand. It's frustrating not to be able to find a site
and click and buy a free device. It shows how far we have to go.
Anyway I digress. Let me know what inconveniences you live with! It may make
me feel better!
